" Jess wake up" I heard Ashley whisper.
" mm no, go away" I mumbled into the pillow. I heard Ashley chuckle and start to tickle me.
" come on! It's your 18th birthday! We're legal now!" He shouted like an excited little kid.
I laughed and opened my eyes to see Ashley propped up next to me smiling
. " weirdo" I mumbled sitting up. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed the side of my head
. " come on get dressed we have shit to do !" He said standing up and I groaned looking at the clock.
" ash.. It's 11, what are we Doing that can't wait till after 3" I wined and he chuckled grinning evilly
. " just get dressed" And with that he walked out. I groaned and stood up stretching and going to my dresser.
I put on a pair of red skinny jeans and a black green day shirt. I straightened my hair and grabbed my phone before leaving my room still tired. I skipped down the stairs and into the living room
. " HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY" Andy shouted tackling me in a hug.
I laughed and hugged back.
" good morning to you too" I said and he chuckled letting go
. " happy birthday" jinxx said kissing my head.
" HAPPY BIRTHDAY! EY, ASH SHE'S LEGAL NOW!" CC said hi- fiving Ashley. I shook my head and jake hugged me
. " happy birthday"
" thanks jake" I said and he smiled
" I was first to say it!" Andy cheered as I sat down on the couch. Ashley plopped next to me as the others took seats around us.
"Actually no that was me" Ashley said smiling and I shook my head
" actually it was gazell legs, you never did say it" I said
" fuck, I knew I forgot something!" He shouted and I laughed kissing his cheek
. " now why did I need to wake up early?" I asked and jinxx laughed
" 11 is not early , and we have plans, Ashley's taking you to one of your birthday present then when you get home well give you ours , then I have another one tonight" jinxx smiled and I groaned
" I thought I told you no presents" I said and they all laughed
" too bad now let's go " Ashley said standing up. He took my hand and pulled me up.
" be back in about 2 hours" he said walking out of the living room with me following
. We got in his car and he started it up. Yellow by Coldplay started playing and I smiled.
"Where are we going?" I asked as he pulled out of the driveway.
" ah that's for me to know and you to find out" he said winking and I sighed leaning in the seat.
" dick" He laughed and kept driving. After 10 minutes we pulled into a parking lot with a game stop, burger king, dollar tree and at the end was a tattoo parlor.
" any guesses on your present?" He asked shutting the car off.
" we'll it's either a tattoo or a whopper, please let it be a tattoo" I said and he laughed kissing my cheek.
" correct lets go" he said getting out. Ifollowed and he grabbed my hand.
" I designed the tattoo for you by the way" he said and I looked at him.
" you'll love it don't worry" he said walking Into the shop.
" hey Lenny!" He called to the man at the desk. He was about 24 with black hair and stretched ears.
" hey ash, this your girl?" He asked stepping from behind the desk.
" yeah this is Jess" ahshley said and I waved shyly. He gave me a toothy grin and shakes my hand
. " nice to meet you, ready to get tattooed?" He asked and I nodded
" great lets go" he said walking to a room.
" I'm going to go run some Erin's , ill be back okay?" He asked and I nodde.he kissed my lips and walked out the door. I took in a breath and walked to where Lenny went off to.
--
After an hour Lenny was done and I was finally able to look. He told me Ashley said to not let me look so I'd be surprised but I was at least able to pick where it was. I picked the inside of my arm near my shoulder.
" take a look" Lenny said standing up. I sat up and held my arm up.
I gasped as I saw the lyrics " A better place a better time" written in cursive with a streetlight underneath it. It was amazing. Lenny wrapped it and stood up leaving the room. I smiled walking out of the room and saw Ashley paying. He turned around and I walked over giving him a hug
. " I love it" I said into his neck and I felt him smile against my hair.
" good," He let go and grabbed my hand again. "
bye Lenny thank you!" We called walking out.
" sorry I couldn't be with you when you got it I had to go do some things" he said as we got in the car.
" what kind of things?" I asked and he smiled turning the car on and backing out.
" things" I sighed dramatically and leaned back in the seat.
He laughed and turned on the radio. Everything went numb , by streetlight manifesto started playing and I sat up looking at him.
" where did you get this?" I asked
" I bought it , they're actually really good" he said and I smiled wider
" yeah they are"
We pulled in and he got out. I followed and we walked silently into the house. I heard Andy and cc yelling about something in the living room.
" let's go see what dumb and dumber are arguing about" Ashley said kissing my cheek and grabbing my hand walking to the living room.
When we walked in Cc was on top of Andy while jake and jinxx were siting on the couch laughing
. " do we even want to know?" I asked and jake laughed shaking his head.
" no, hey dicks ! Get up!" He shouted throwing a grey pillow at them.
Cc and Andy looked up and smiled standing up
. " let me see!" Cc exclaimed running to me. He grabbed my arm and took the bandaged off.
" that so cool!" He exclaimed and I smiled. Jinxx , andy and jake walked over and looked at it.
" very cool" jinxx said. I took my arm away and put the wrapping up.
" I know" I said sitting on the couch. Ashley sat next to me with his arm around me
. " present time!" Andy exclaimed running out of the room. I laughed as the others walked out except jake and jinxx.
" ours are in here" jake smirked and I sighed again.
" I really didn't want presents" I complained
" tough shit" Ashley said and I glared at him. They laughed just as the others ran in. They all sat down and smiled holding their gifts. "
who's first?" Andy asked
" we'll I'm going last" jinx said
" I'll go!" Cc exclaimed standing up. He handed me a hello kitty bag.
" fuck I love it already" I said and they chuckled
" open it!" Cc wined
" calm down god" I said and cc Flicked me. I took the paper out and took out a Evans drum pad with a brick of Vic firth sticks.
" holy shit! Thank you! How did you know I played!" I asked standing up and hugging him
. " jinxx told me, which I'm offended you never told us, which you will play for us soon" he said and I smiled as jake stood up.
He reached behind the couch revealing one of his signature schetcer guitars. He handed it me and I stared at it
" holy Jesus this is beautiful! " I exclaimed and I heard them chuckle
" again you didn't tell us you played guitar either" jake said and I shrugged silently strumming
" didn't come up" I shrugged
" any other hidden talents?" Andy asked I looked up at him and shrugged
" she also sings and draws" jinxx said and I looked at him
. " damn!" Cc exclaimed and I laughed setting the guitar down.
" okay my turn!!" Andy said handing me a batman bag.
" we'll I already know what my present involves" I said chuckling as I tore the black and yellow tissue paper out of the way.
I pulled out a batman hoodie that had bat ears on the hood. I laughed and pulled out 2 batman shirts, socks, a belt, bracelets and another sweatshirt.
" Jesus Christ Andy" I said as the others laughed I stood up and hugged him.
" thank you" He smiled , his blue eyes shining bright as he leaned down and kissed my forehead
. " welcome"
" now! Time for mine" jinx exclaimed standing up.
" there's 3, ill save best for last" he said and I sat down eager. He smiled as he also bent behind the couch.
He pulled up a decent sized frame and kept the back towards me. He walked to the couch and smiled again.
" I found this I don't know if you remember this day but I do." He said then turned the frame around. I instantly put my hand over my mouth.
It was when I was 12, jinxx came by from touring to surprise me for Christmas even though he said he wouldn't make it.
In the picture I was wearing grey skinny jeans and an oversized slayer shirt that was jinxx's , jinxx stood next to me in black skinny jeans, a black tshirt and a huge smile. His arm around me. Next to me on the other side was my mom and dad.
A tear fell from my face and I jumped up taking the frame and putting it on the couch. I turned back around and fell Into jinxx's arms letting tears fall to my face.
" I looked everywhere for that picture where did you get it?!" I asked from his chest and I felt him squeeze my back.
" it was at my parents house they mailed it to me," he said and I smiled looking at him.
" thank you so much" He looked down at me and smiled wiping my face and kissing my cheek
. " ready for the second present?" He asked and I nodded laughing looking at the others who were smiling silently. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a white envelope.
" here" he said smirking and I cautiously took it slowly opening it. I took out a ticket and looked at it
. My mouth fell open as I looked at him
. " streetlights here tonight?!?" I exclaimed and he laughed rubbing my shoulder
" they are, and were all going , I even got a hold of Tom and he gave me backstage passes and were going early so we can hang" he said and I hugged him harder
" I love you"
" I love you too Jess" he said in my neck He let go and wiped my face again
. " okay so we need to be there at 6 and it starts at 7 so I'm giving you your last present then we can order pizza okay?" He asked and I nodded. He looked around at everyone and they all smirked.
" it's I'n the closet" he smirked and I raised my eyebrows
. " okay.." I said moving to the closet in the hall.
m
" wait!" Andy said running in. They all walked in standing close by smirking.
" okay now go" Ashley said and I shook my head opening the door.
Inside the closet was someone I haven't seen in forever. I froze tears falling down my face.
" oh hey Jess, nice coats you got in here" John said smiling his goofy grin.
" oh my god." I breathed out and he smiled walking out of the closet and wrapping his arms around me.
He held me tight and rocked back and forth as I cried into him.
" I can't believe your here!" I exclaimed
" why would I miss your birthday?!" He asked letting go of the hug.
I smiled and turned to jinxx against
" your seriously amazing" I said and he smiled
" I try"
I jumped into his arms and he held me tight as I felt the others wrap around us. This was a birthday I'd never forget.
" mm no, go away" I mumbled into the pillow. I heard Ashley chuckle and start to tickle me.
" come on! It's your 18th birthday! We're legal now!" He shouted like an excited little kid.
